Glass Quality – Glass is a fascinating material. Not only does it fulfil a practical purpose but there are so many other ways in which glass enriches our life. It is brilliant, it reflects and refracts light and has a satisfying sound when glasses are clinked. Still further, specific glass shapes and a high-quality glass surface, through the use of pure raw materials, enhance the aromas and taste of beverages.
The Platinum Glass Process – Simultaneously, production methods and technical knowhow have a direct influence on the quality of the final product.
After undergoing 1500 dishwasher cycles, Spiegelau stemware was certified as “extremely dishwasher safe” by an independent laboratory. They found no scratching, markings, loss of brilliance, foggy shadows, change in colour or brilliance or build-up of water chemicals and residue.
Spiegelau’s remarkable durability can be attributed in large part to the Platinum Glass process. As the glass goes from first powder to its liquid stage, liquid glass is passed through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate any impurities and remove all imperfections and inconsistencies that might otherwise exist. (Platinum prevents leaching that may occur from other equipment linings). While more expensive, this innovative use of technology proves Spiegelau’s commitment to quality.
